Italy coach Gianmarco Pozzecco rejoices with his players following their impressive comeback victory against Serbia in the Fiba World Cup second round. Pozzecco passionately dedicated the win to boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, whom he had been eager to meet since arriving in Manila. Pozzecco’s wish came true when Pacquiao graciously invited him to his home in Forbes Park, Makati, just before their match against Serbia. Italy’s win, fueled by Simone Fontecchio’s spectacular 30-point performance, propelled them to a 3-1 record in Group I.
In an interview with reporters, Pozzecco expressed his gratitude towards Pacquiao, calling him a “nice person” and an “amazing person.” He emphasized that the victory was dedicated to Pacquiao, stating that he represents the Filipino people, who he described as amazing and lovely. Pozzecco was in awe that a sports legend like Pacquiao would invite him to his home after joking about meeting him several times during the World Cup. He presented Pacquiao with an Italy jersey bearing the name “Pacquiao” as a token of appreciation.
Pozzecco also took the opportunity to express his admiration for the Filipino people, describing them as lovely and expressing his love for them. He commended Pacquiao for his humility and stated that he is a true legend in the world of sports, not just in the Philippines or in boxing.
Aside from Pozzecco, other notable individuals such as Karl-Anthony Towns and players from the Golden State Warriors also visited Pacquiao’s house. This encounter was truly a memorable experience for Pozzecco, one that he will cherish for the rest of his life.
